Low lead fuel in the zx14
I have access to av gas, 102 low lead. Has anyone ever run high octane leaded fuel in there bike?
It has a header without the stock can.

Why would you need 102 octane? The only reason is high compression, high boost, or lots of nitrous. Otherwise the 14 runs its best times (most power) on 87.
